1Q25: Within House Expectation; Trudging In A Choppy Sea Pentamaster’s 1Q25 results were in line. Orderbook dwindled to RM350m as customers adopted a wait-and-see stance amid persistent global trade uncertainties.

Strategy - Opportunities In A Ringgit Resurgence Environment

Opportunities In A Ringgit Resurgence Environment The sharp ringgit appreciation driven by de-dollarisation and thus a broader reallocation of capital toward emerging market currencies support our view of a moderate upside for Malaysian equities.

While historical parallel suggests temporary trading opportunities, we recommend a tactical trading stance, focusing on value-driven op...
